Chapter Ninety-Seven: Harm others ends up harming oneself
Xiao Rin jumped into the lake, the lake water stimulated his limbs with a slight coolness, not far away, a beautiful shadow was slowly falling, and the wide-sleeved belt was floating, like a fairy falling from the sky, absolutely dazzling.
In the darkness, Jing Ning only felt that his floating body was hugged by a warm and powerful embrace, which carried him out of the water and back to the hot and dry shore.
She knew which man must have given his life to save her, but she didn't know who was willing to sacrifice his life to save her.
"Xiao Gongzi!" The sharp female voice of the county lord pierced Jing Ning's ears, and she frowned imperceptibly.
His surname is Xiao?
Although Jing Ning's eyes were closed, her consciousness was awake, and she moved her head slightly, exposing her right ear a little more so that she could hear more clearly.
"Young Master Xiao! You, this, this woman, she, she jumped off by herself, and it has nothing to do with me! Xiao Gongzi, you have to believe me! The county lord of Wan Ting bypassed the children who were blocking in front and squeezed in front of Xiao Rin.
Xiao Rin squatted beside Jing Ning and didn't raise his head.
"Xiao Gongzi!" Lord Huanting stomped his feet anxiously, but he didn't dare to attack for the sake of face.
"Xiao only believes what Xiao sees, and the county lord doesn't need to say much." Xiao Rin raised his eyes, his eyes were like snow edges, as if he wanted to shoot straight into the heart of the county lord of Huanting, and see the cause of the accident thoroughly.
The county lord of Huanting felt weak for a while, and he didn't dare to catch up, so he had to don't look over his head and pretend to look into the distance.
"It's just ......" Xiao Rin suddenly stood up and looked at her, "Xiao has something I don't understand." ”
"Childe, please speak!" The county lord bowed slightly.
"Although Miss Zheng and the county lord have a previous suspicion, but today the county lord has apologized, and Miss Zheng has also forgiven the county lord, why does the county lord still do this trick to frame people?" Xiao Rin was precise and forced to look at the county lord of Huanting.
Lord Wan Ting took a step back, "How can I hurt people!" She fell on her own, what does it have to do with me! She raised her head, her apricot eyes were full of tears, and her eyes were full of water but a little stubborn, as if she had been wronged.
Xiao Rin didn't speak, just frowned.
"Who is making a noise here, disturbing the interest of this palace." A dignified and majestic scolding came from him, and everyone turned their heads, looking for the place where the voice came from.
Among the red flowers and green leaves in the garden, a woman with outstanding temperament slowly stepped out, the palace bun was high, the hairpin flowers were silver, and there was a faint arrogance between the eyebrows, and the red yarn wrapped around her arms dragged the ground, which set off the nobility of the woman.
"Bye, meet Princess Lu!" Someone was the first to react and knelt down towards the woman, and the rest of them came to their senses and knelt down as well.
"Mother!" The county lord of Wan Ting knelt down, her face was slightly pale, and Princess Lu stood in place, catching a glimpse of Jing Ning lying on the side.
"What's wrong, why is there still someone lying down?" She bypassed the cluster of red flowers in front of her and came to Lord Huanting, "Tell me?" ”
Lord Wan Ting lowered her head, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Princess Lu turned around and walked in front of Xiao Rin again, "She doesn't say it, what do you say?" ”
Xiao Rin also lowered his head and didn't say a word.
Princess Lu raised her eyebrows, "Since you don't say it, then this palace can only deal with this one thing." As he spoke, his face changed, "Come on, stay with the county lord, and educate yourself!" ”
Hearing that two grandmothers came up, one left and one right, set up the county lord of Huanting, and they were about to leave, but the county lord of Huanting struggled, but the effect was minimal.
"Let go of me, let go, Xiao, Xiao Gongzi, Xiao Gongzi! Xiao Rin! The county lord of Huanting shouted for help, and even called out Xiao Rin's real name, but Xiao Rin turned a deaf ear and stared at the ground vigorously, as if to see a hole.
Princess Lu glanced at Xiao Rin a few times, and didn't know whether she was suspicious or appreciative, so she walked towards Jing Ning, turned around and called people, and ordered them to re-wash her, but Xiao Rin stood up and wanted to stop her, but was stopped by Princess Lu's attendants.
"The woman bathed and changed clothes, Xiao Gongzi followed up, it's not appropriate, right?" Princess Lu stopped and looked back at Xiao Rin with a smile.
Xiao Rin hesitated for a moment, but still took a step back, but his eyes were still fixed on Princess Lu.
"This garden is so big, the painting boat is parked aside, if the son is not at ease, he can stay at the door." As he spoke, he turned around and left with a group of people and Jing Ning.
After Princess Lu left, everyone got up one after another, discussing with each other what happened today, completely ignoring Xiao Rin's face.
By the time Jing Ning recovered from the warmth, she was already standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror and getting dressed.
The person in the mirror is dressed in purple and elegant, with the same color light gauze wrapped around his arms, and a colorful butterfly flying phoenix around the hairpin on his head, although it is not big, the workmanship is extremely fine.
She was wondering when the door was pushed open and a woman walked in.
Jing Ning was stunned for a moment, and the person standing next to her reminded her in a whisper, "It's Princess Lu." ”
Hearing this, Jing Ning hurriedly knelt down to pay respects, but Princess Lu stretched out her hand to help her up.
"Well, are there any uncomfortable parts of your body?" Princess Lu helped Jing Ning straighten her clothes and asked softly.
Jing Ning shook her head, she was a little frightened by this sudden intimate move, and she was a little more vigilant in her heart.
Princess Lu seemed to be able to see what she was thinking, and smiled lightly, "You are not afraid, I am not a monster who can eat people, and I will not eat you." ”
Jing Ning also smiled and kept looking around.
"Bring it on." Princess Lu turned her head sideways and whispered to the maid beside her, who was blessed after hearing this, turned around and ran away.
"Who is the princess?" Jing Ning looked at the maid who ran away.
Princess Lu also turned her head to look at the maid, then turned her head and took Jing Ning's hand, and patted it, "You'll know later, now follow me to the lobby first." ”
Entering the lobby from the back door, around Jingning, I couldn't help but sigh at the glory here.
"Sit." Princess Lu made a gesture to the other seat beside her, Jing Ning sat down hurriedly, just straightened her dress, and when she looked up, she saw a figure standing outside the door.
The figure was against the light and couldn't see his face clearly, but Jing Ning could feel the killing intent in his body, like a wolf and a tiger.
She turned her head sideways and stopped looking.
Suddenly, there was a commotion, and two grandmothers were holding a young girl, and the girl was slumped in the middle, dragged all the way.
"Jing Ning, look, this is the person who framed you?" Princess Lu asked.
"Exactly." Jing Ning raised his head and looked at the county lord Wan Ting who was kneeling on the ground with a smile.
"You talk nonsense! It's clear that you planted it yourself in the lake! Why frame me! Lord Wan Ting trembled, but was still quibbling.
Princess Lu's face sank, and she was about to speak, but she heard Jing Ning speak, "Why don't you tell everything about the matter?" This will also allow the princess to judge who I have framed! ”
What a great woman.
Princess Lu thought in her heart and cleared her throat, "Wan Ting, I asked you." ”
The county lord looked at Jing Ning, who was high above, and sneered, "I kindly invited her to play on the boat today, I don't want her to have bad intentions, hit the princess and steal the hairpin, and finally the matter was revealed, and she wants to blame me!" ”
"It's the other way around." Jing Ning got up, "You made me bump into the princess, it was you who stuffed the princess golden hairpin into my clothes, and it was you," she paused, looked at the increasingly ugly face of the county lord of Huanting, and said word by word, "Frame me." ”
"It is true!" Xiao Rin took his hand and stepped into the door.
